"I'm actually extremely surprised that you can buy a Cadillac in EU at the moment, since Chrystler and Dodge stopped selling all of their cars in EU few years ago citing lack of interest - but apparently you can order a brand new CTS-V or an Escalade in the UK?"

Cadillac is produced by General Motors.

On my most recent trip to Zurich I saw cadillacs and chevy camaros, etc., out driving around.

They are crap cars but I think there's some counter-cultural cache that they possess in a place like that.
